Keynote’s latest Scorecard comparing the mobile banking offerings of the top 15 US banks comes at a time when the nation’s leading banks are together moving towards offering more robust mobile services and capabilities, illustrated by a tightening of the scores among the top tier banks. This continued maturation of mobile banking is marked by a heightened focus on the customer experience with new UI designs, more efficient navigation and the ability of banks to offer more money movement capabilities, such as person-to-person (P2P) payments, inter-institutional ACH transfers and advanced bill payment and eBill functionality. (e.g. using mobile number/e-mail to transfer funds).
Underscoring the importance and growing adoption of these advanced transactional service offerings, Forrester recently predicted that total mobile payments will reach $90 billion by 2017, up from $13 billion in 2012.
Overall, mobile banking adoption rates continue to spike, rising from 20% in 2011 to 33% today, according to a recent survey by the electronic payment organization, SWACHA.
